A Vegetarian Restaurant Hidden in a Temple

宝光寺僧东谈主正在制作素食。

宝光寺餍足。

那时的大寮僧厨中，有一位法号名叫达聪的厨师，被派到住持厨房专为住持和来寺贵客作念斋菜。为了谄媚贵客的荤食民风，又要信守古刹的清针砭律，达聪遂在烹饪工艺上扩充“素菜荤作念、教养荤形”的变革，创举了宝光寺的“仿荤素筵”。

Consequently, a Buddhist chef whose given name was Dacong was specifically assigned to prepare vegetarian dishes in the abbot kitchen to serve Buddhist abbots and honored guests. In order to cater to honored guests accustomed to non-vegetarian meals, while adhering to monastic rules and disciplines, Chef Dacong revolutionized the cooking process. He adopted a method of cooking vegetarian meals the same way as non-vegetarian ones and giving them the appearance of meat, thus blazing a trail of “cooking vegetarian feasts bearing resemblance to meat” in Baoguang Temple.

宝光寺素筵早在20世纪30年代初就享有闻名。到了当代，靠着寺庙厨师的深湛本事和口碑，宝光寺素斋圈来了广阔“粉丝”。很多慕名而至的搭客除了被这座古刹的历史文化迷惑，也念念尝尝寺庙内遐迩闻名的斋味。

In the early 1930s, the vegetarian fests of Baoguang Temple gained great fame and influence. In modern times, thanks to its chefs’masterful cooking techniques and widespread acclaim, Baoguang Temple vegetarian dishes have garnered large crowds of fans. Attracted by Baoguang Temple’s reputation, a slew of visitors flock to this ancient temple, not only for its history and culture, but also for its renowned vegetarian meals.

一直以来，在中国民间流传着农历月吉、十五茹素的习俗，这与释教提议的食素以静心养性异途同归。而对食品口味握着的四川东谈主，总能念念尽多样意见，把清汤寡水的斋饭整得麻辣鲜香，还有肉的香味！

It has long been the custom of Chinese people to consume vegetarian dishes on the first and fifteenth days of the Chinese New Year, aligning with Buddhist principles of self-cultivation and meditation through vegetarianism. However, obsessed with varied flavors, Sichuan locals always innovate bland vegetarian dishes with varying methods, developing them into delicacies with a spicy taste and meat-like aromas!
